Dear Andrew,As nearly as I can determine, 39 people have posted regarding the
10% level in self-nomination. Of these, 33 oppose that level as it is currently stated,
and 6 (including yourself) support it. Of the 6 who support it, 3 seem to believe
that it will create feedback to improve the rules due to it's inherent contradictions,
rather than supporting it in any kind of absolute sense.
That's 84.5% of those
interested opposed to the 10% limit - closer to consensus than many processes manage
to get.
In fact, on June 5th, you posted:
"In general, I'm persuaded that a
lower threshold is a good idea..... The regions are of *very* different sizes (members-wise),
so I favor the use of a fixed percentage, rather than absolute numbers. I think
1-2% is too low."
Yet the proposed rules page, updated June 7 according to the
page, reflects no change in this requirement whatsoever. Andrew, might you comment
on why that hasn't been addressed, and what we might expect to see between now and
Yokohama?
Thanks,
Greg
